Book Vs Movie Podcast

Book Vs. Movie is the podcast that asks the questions "Which was better...the book or the movie?" Spoiler Alert! We give away the main details, uncover the plot points, discuss casting choices and shower with praise (or pummel with snark) as we see fit. Hosts are Margo P. (She's Nacho Mama's Blog) and Margo D. (Creator of Brooklyn Fit Chick.com) and we are not afraid to tell it like it is!

The Margos take on one of the most contested and debated films of the past books AND movies of the last few years--Gone Girl.If there was ever a story that was picked apart, praised, maligned and worshipped more than the2012 novel by Gillian Flynnwe have yet to hear about it.

Do you love the adventures of “Amazing Amy” Dunne and her husband Nick or do you find them irritating? How believable is the basic plot? Is Amy a sociopath or just a woman scorned? People have all kinds of opinions and the Margos are no different talking about the book and film directed by the always interestingDavid Fincher.(This is our third Fincher movie after we have coveredFight ClubandThe Social Networkin previous eps.)

The Margos finally get another Margot on the show when we discuss the book to movie adaptation ofMargot Lee Shetterley'sHidden Figures. Discussed are the differences between the book and the film (which was adapted from the 55-page book proposal and not the final book.)

We have some rather strong opinions on which we liked better. Here are some highlights from our discussion:

Welcome back to a new episode of Book Vs. Movie! This week, we are talking about the book/movieMudboundwhich was written byHillary Jordan(her debut novel) and directed byDee Rees(Pariah,Bessie) who also co-wrote the adapted screenplay. The Margos are not too ashamed to admit that this particular story and film gave us a big case of the sads. However, we are so in love with the writing, storytelling and acting here that we had a very hard time figuring out which we liked better.
